solved IXEG menu not hiding

[jwenting]

The 737's popup/flyout menu stopped sliding outside the screen/hiding for me. 

This started today, worked fine last week when I last used the aircraft.

Nothing in the logs that indicates an error or warning, gizmo console is also clear.

I have the same probleme with version 1.21. I've already disabled all of my plugins and did a complete reinstallation.

Hm, very weird. It should hide as soon as your mouse-pointer is not at the left side of the screen anymore.

Are you using multiple monitors? Are you running in windowed mode (and have the mouse pointer out of the x-plane window)?

Cheers, Jan

Yes and no. I Use two Monitors one for X-Plane and the other for "EFB-Tools". X-Plane runs in Fullscreen-mode. The Gizmo Menu on the right side is also missing.

Just for kicks, try to run X-Plane in windowed mode and see if the problem persists, please.

Cheers, Jan

Hi Jan,

I think I messed up my X-Plane installation. When I change to windowed mode x-plane switches to my second monitor and stays in fullscreen mode

But yes, I don't have the problem on the second screen.

Thanks for reporting back. The "many monitors" feature that X-Plane 11 brought has indeed some pitfalls - and they seem hard to troubleshoot, since the results vary from monitor to monitor...

The thing I hate most is that there is no way to exactly specify the size of the window I want to run (i.e. exactly 1920x1080). Sure, you can set that up in some preference menu, but you must use a calculator to specify the start and end pixels... really?

Cheers, Jan

Okay I got it. I have a Dual Monitor Setup. Mon 1 was my X-Plane Monitor and Mon 2 my EFB Monitor. Mon 2 was also my main monitor! So when when you use X-Plane on your secondary monitor you'll get this "menu issue". This Setting also have some kind of window position issues because I noticed that all X-Plane popup windows (like the IOS) opens in the right corner and you have to move them out everytime you reload X-Plane. The reason I used this switched setup was: When I used it the other way round an annoying flicker blinking occurs everytime I klicked "outside" the X-Plane window. I solved this now by adding one pixel to my vertical resolution (1921x1080).

Thanks for letting us know!
